St. Johns is Margaret River Churchview Estates best range for the wine enthusiast. Rare, unique and interesting wines meticulously handcrafted and blended to reflect the heritage of each varietal. The blends will only be produced when the team at Churchview deem them capable of matching the worlds best. This Marsanne got 94 point by Ray Jordan! Inoculated with a neutral Champagne yeast for fermentation to allow the grape to express itself. 10% was fermented in 3 year old French Allier barriques and aged in there for only 8 weeks, when it was blended back into the stainless steel portion. Only 1500 bottles have been produced.
Fresh aromas of pears, apricots, honeymelon and chamomile flowers. A lovely pear and melon mid palate begins the flavour, with a fresh savoury finish. This wine is about flavour and texture. New Screwcap. Only 12 bottles left!
